• from October 1 to January 31
The pintail duck (Anas acuta), also called the Pintail and "Kulkuyruk", is a medium-sized representative of the duck family, order Guscopidae. It weighs between 0.7 and 1.2 kg, has a body length of 52 – 70 cm and a wingspan of 85 cm. The neck is relatively long and thin, and the tail is also long and spike-like, hence its name. Beak and legs are dark gray. Fly fast and light. It swims well, but does not like to dive. The voice of the male is a specific scream: "furr, furr" or a low melodic whistling. There is a well-defined sexual dimorphism, with the male being more brightly ornamented. The pintail is found wherever there are bodies of water and open spaces for nesting. It prefers lakes, swamps and dams. It is a relatively common species in Bulgaria.
